Leave heads are missing

Most of the leaves’ heads are missing. Only annual leave and sick leave can be used. As per the NZ law those leave heads should be present at the app. Sick leave can’t be taken on an hourly basis; it can only be taken for a full shift. Which is not good.

Just 1 thing that I dislike!

The app is very easy to use and runs very smoothly, so I would give it a 5-star only if one feature was changed: the “Starting in __ hours” countfown feature is too anxiety-inducing. I truly think it’s unnecessary and unhealthy to include that feature. 😔 It would be much appreciated if it could be removed!
